Who now then?...

Moussa dembele? Supposedly Spurs willing to listen to offers as he enters last year of contract. Always thought he looks comfortable and accomplished on the ball. Would be a stop gap signing and means having to deal with Daniel Levy again ....

Don't see that we have the 3 months it takes to deal with Spuds. Would fit their idea of good business though - sell with no time to invest the income

City were linked with Bentancur by fairly reliable Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla 2-3 weeks ago, City didn't deny it then.

Pep was saying that the player needs to be someone that's going to be with the club for years to come, rather than a stop gap to boost numbers. Dembele falls into the latter category, as do players like N'Zonzi.

I think if we do end up signing someone that will be in the 21-26 age bracket.

Maybe it’s Luiz’s work permit.

We don’t need no more big name stars we have enough already. If Douglas is granted his permit we don’t need anybody else to come in that’s for sure our squad is ridiculously good we’ve got players who can play in all different kinds of positions it’s mad. I might even surprise a few on right now by saying we could and we will break even more records this season.

Agreed Reece. Having said that, I’m as fascinated as everyone else to see if something else is going to happen before the end of Thursday ;-)

Yeah it was rumoured we'd take Pjanic or Bentancur, whichever was the odd one out at Juve.

Bentancur makes sense on a lot of levels.

Lemina
Ndombele
Frenkie De Jong ? (have been interested in him earlier)
Ramsey (Robson said that we stayed in London for an executive meeting to discuss transfers etc.)
N`Zonzi

Ndombele or De Jong out of that bunch. Not Lemina

 

[dillbi95]

Can see it being Ramsey / Lemina type signing. Not worth it imo.
Just go balls deep for Verratti, or De Jong. It'll be worth it.

 

[richards30]

Would love to smash a big bid in for Frankie de jong! Probably too late in the window now though

Bentancur would be a great signing, although it would line Juventus' pockets who might want to take Pogba off United's hands, which we don't want...
